Cornkind was originally an improvisation inspired by Frank O'Hara's poem of the same name. His easy yet profound prose, written during lunch breaks, sparked a certain spontaneity in the music. The piece offers a melancholic exploration of everyday sounds, where the piano is sometimes treated as a 'found' sound. This new acoustic arrangement retraces old steps and finds new ones.
